Pick Yourself Up Songtext
von John Lithgow

Please, teacher, teach me something
Nice teacher, teach me something
I′m as awkward as a camel
That's not the worst
My two feet haven′t met yet
But I'll be teacher's pet yet
′Cause I gotta learn to dance or I′ll burst

You want me to teach you to dance?
Sure, I'll teach you to dance
Come on!

Nothing′s impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again

I can't lose my confidence if I slip
I′m grateful for a pleasant trip
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again


I work like a soul inspired
'Til the battle of the day is won
And though I am sick and tired
I′ll stick 'til the job is done

When I remember those famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again

Alright now, just watch my feet
And do what I do
And shuffle, hop, step
And step, tap
And shuffle, hop, step
Shuffle, ball change
And step, step
And turn and do
Here I go, wow!
And aah!

Don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off
And start all over again


I work like a soul inspired
′Til the battle of the day is won
I may be sick and tired
But at least I′ll have some fun

When I remember those famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
Again!

Take a deep breath
(Take a deep breath)
Pick yourself up
(Pick yourself up)
Dust yourself off
(Dust yourself off)
And start all over again!
